"On 14 May, FC Bayern Women and VfL Wolfsburg face off in the DFB Cup final (kick-off 16:00 CEST) - a match-up that has long been synonymous with top-class football and memorable moments in women's football in Germany. When the double winners take on the cup specialists from Lower Saxony, it won't just be two top teams going head-to-head, but also several players who have previously played for both clubs."
"Lena Oberdorf made her Bundesliga debut for SGS Essen at the tender age of 16 years. Now 24, she's already made over 150 appearances at senior level, having joined VfL Wolfsburg after two seasons, which included making her international debut. With the Lower Saxony side, she won the DFB Cup four times in a row (2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23, 2023/24) and the Bundesliga once (2021/22). In the summer of 2024, the 2022 European Championship finalist made the move to FC Bayern."
"Pernille Harder has been leading the line for FC Bayern since the summer of 2023 and in that time has become an indispensable part of the Munich side's attack. In January 2017, the Denmark captain arrived in Germany for the first time from Swedish top-flight side Linköpings FC. During her three and a half years at VfL Wolfsburg, she developed into a world-class player and played a key role in winning four domestic doubles (2016/17, 2017/18, 2018/19, 2019/20). Following that, a spell in England saw her also win the double of league title and FA Cup there in three seasons with Chelsea (2020/21, 2021/22, 2022/23)."
"Since joining FC Bayern, her trophy haul has already grown by another three league titles (2023/24, 2024/25, 2025/26). Harder has also won the DFB Cup (2024/25) and two DFB Supercups (2024/25, 2025/26)."
FC Bayern Women and VfL Wolfsburg meet in the DFB Cup final in Cologne on 14 May. The matchup features players who have previously represented both clubs, creating a shared history for the rivalry. Lena Oberdorf debuted in the Bundesliga at 16 with SGS Essen, later joined Wolfsburg, won the DFB Cup four consecutive seasons, and won the Bundesliga once before moving to Bayern in summer 2024. Pernille Harder led Bayern’s attack since 2023 after developing at Wolfsburg, where she won four domestic doubles, and after winning league and cup titles with Chelsea.
